Omega was a joke. :<

oh well woulda been nice. the fight itself looks really nostalgic with all the same moves from FF5..

i hope they release it in the store, i don't want to have to get it off someone hawking it on ebay

Oh thank god, that one actually looks good. Now when can I get that shit so she stops wearing this hideous tube top thing... It wasn't some Japanese preorder bonus was it~

..and its supposedly free

I think this page is still the best place keeping track of DLC

EDIT: oh god having trouble recording the final boss fights. they die too fast lol. i swap into starter weapons and wear royal armlets to drop serah and noels stats and its slightly better.. but i need to use paradigms that keep chichu out of play because once hes in he just rips everything apart. especially caius. reason why i want to kill slower is because i want it to be kind of an exhibition of the battle.. with the boss actually doing some kind of supermove.

Quick question: best place to get regular Moblin pops? I've seen different regions and weathers for the Steppe on everything I've read.

**Spira** · 2012-02-20 21:51

From experience I believe sunny or cloudy, with battle mania on in the northwest corner of the map, northmost point where you can stand next to the cliff

**Cichy** · 2012-02-20 23:56

When I farmed shit by Ochu in rainy weather they poped fairly often

**Katlan** · 2012-02-21 01:17

is there a spot on the water area of steppes where blue choco's have a better pop chance because this is retarded. get like one pop every 30min+

nvm... bitch, and it pops next and drops the crystal lol

**Tobi** · 2012-02-21 06:07

I kinda wanna play FFXIII again but on the PS3 this and Plat it all over again as well... only thing that's stopping me is farming turtles again and doing/5starring all missions, though 5 starring them isn't bad, still slight annoyance. Once I run out of shit to play I'll probably end up replaying it again.

I am sadface I won't be able to get Sazh DLC today QQ

**Ratatapa** · 2012-02-21 06:08

Today? i thoguh Sazh was the 28 so next week

**Tobi** · 2012-02-21 06:09

Lol, next week, my bad... its 6am, my brain is dead atm

**Katlan** · 2012-02-21 10:57

Is there a special way I should be leveling up monsters? for example (com): potent for small nodes and str for large? or should i do str for everything? Same goes w/ Rav... should i do potent for small and magic on blue?

**miokomioko** · 2012-02-21 11:20

I'm pretty sure they still get a (albeit small) bonus from using power/mana/vitality pieces on small nodes, so unless you're shooting for versatility/survivability, it's usually best to only feed it whatever is appropriate for its role:

CON: Power (There might be a fight or two where Ruin is your best offense, so a Magic-focused COM might be situationally useful.)
SEN: Vitality (Maybe some Power if you really want a counter-focused tank?)
RAV: Mana (Can alternate with Power if the monster in question uses mostly elemental strikes/blitzes.)
SYN: Mana*
SAB: Mana
MED: Mana

Other than that, you can just use your best judgment. Such as pushing a few Vitality (or slightly more Potent) pieces on one of your monsters to boost its HP if it keeps getting killed easily.

SEN: Vitality
RAV: Mana (Can alternate with Power if the monster in question uses mostly elemental "strikes" or "blitzes.")
SYN: Vitality (I don't believe Magic boosts buff strength or duration so may as well just give it all the HP you can.)
SAB: Mana
MED: Mana

Other than that, you can just use your best judgment. Such as pushing a few Vitality (or slightly more Potent) pieces on one of your monsters to boost its HP if it keeps getting killed easily.

Magic boosts buff duration so if you stack magic your SYNs will actually be better. Passive abilities have more effect though.

**miokomioko** · 2012-02-21 11:33

Doh, I was just recently informed that it didn't~ D:

Fix'd.

**Spira** · 2012-02-21 11:53

i put Vitality for both SEN and MED.

my logic was that a MED with low HP would be more of a liability in battle than anything.
lol my flanitor has like 5k HP.
also I barely really heal with it. If i use it, its usually RAV COM MED where you're not really taking that much damage to worry. In emergencies I switch in for the Rescue feral link before anything else, and swap to MEDx3-W for any serious healing (because its a whole lot faster)

thanks for the monster tips!
